Instant Home Hot Tub

I disagree with the negative reviews of this product. If anything, it works better than advertised. One complaint was that if you turn it on and leave it running, by the time you get in, the water's cold. Well, don't turn it on until you're ready to get in. Another complaint was the unit is surprisingly loud. It's also surprisingly bubbly --more like a gym hot tub than a home Jacuzzi. The instructions say not to use it with soap or shampoo (not to put it in the hose), but any shampoo or soap that spills in the tub instantly turns into a mountain of frothy foam. Is this thing fun or what? The leaflet also says to dry the mat and sanitize it now and then, but if you can, just disconnect the hose and leave the mat in the tub. It makes a great bath mat, and it's always ready to transform to hot tub mode. Suction cups hold it in place, so it's easy to remove the mat for cleaning. The unit plugs into the wall, but there's no danger since the hose is long enough to keep the unit away from the tub (and most bathrooms have GFI electrical outlets for backup protection). The only problem is that once your friends see your Bubble Spa, they'll want one too, and the tub will suddenly become a popular destination for your roommates or family.

Relaxing but not good if you have a plastic kind of tub

I purchased this item quite some time ago. At the time of purchase I had a bathtub that was the plastic-like kind. This product will not affix to this sort of tub. However I recently moved to a place with a regular style tub and the suction cups work great. This product does run more loudly than I expected, but does provide as promised a wonderful tub full of bubbles.
I too noticed that the air tended to cool the water, but solved this problem by running the bath hotter than I normally would. Overall I like it although it isn't something you use for a "quick" bath.

Ice cold and quite loud

I was excited to receive a BubbleSpa Massaging Bubble Mat, and looked forward to many relaxing baths.

Upon assembling and starting up the unit, I was pleased to see the thousands of bubbles that filled my tub. Although the unit was *extremely* loud, I overlooked this in anticipation of a relaxing spa experience.

Upon entering the bathtub (which I had filled with hot water minutes earlier), I was shocked to find that the water had already turned cold. Upon further investigation, I realized that the air being pumped through the Homedics unit and out to the spa mat was producing ice cold bubbles, which quickly turned my relaxing hot bath into an arctic nightmare.

I am not a fan of cold baths, and could find no use for this product.

I contacted Homedics to give them my feedback and got this generic reply: "Unfortunately, we do not sell direct, so any type of refund must come from the place of purchase."

If you like cold baths and loud noise, this unit is for you. Otherwise, you may want to consider another product if your purpose is to relax in the tub.
